DISCOVER THE SOUL-STIRRING “BRAVE GIRL” BY ANOUSH: A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND RESILIENCE
3 min read
Identity is something that has been the course of many of our problems and sometimes it becomes difficult to know it. But one thing is if you know who you really are, you don’t let situations decide who you are. Well sometimes you need that power, the courage and resilience to overcome that problem, that mountain that has become a blockage in your life and sometimes you need to find your spiritual roots. Well I’ve got a song here from Anoush who has got something interesting and intriguing about identity and the transformative power of spirituality on her song “Brave Girl.” A song that comes in as a beautiful mid-tempo blend of jazz and pop that touches on themes of awakening and self-discovery. With inspiration from philosophical concepts like Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and biblical narratives such as Adam & Eve from Genesis, Anoush crafts a touching reflection on the pursuit of truth that challenges perception.
Now this song “Brave Girl”, like I said is a mid-tempo track that catches your attention the moment you hit play, that saxophone which starts the track immediately prepares the listener to embrace the introspective journey they about to take. Then the saxophone lays behind and let those jazz and pop fusion beats takes centre stage with the vocals riding on the beats to give the listener an immersive listening experience. The song then goes on to invite you to navigate their own spiritual paths. What’s beautiful about the track is how Anoush’s classically-trained background shines through in the intricate melodies and beautiful instrumentation which creates a dynamic sound that gets you hooked from start to finish. Then as the song progresses you hear lines like “shadows in the game don’t make her waver, neither does the light” hinting at a sense of resilience in the face of adversity, while those biblical references adds depth to the song’s message. Then those magical chorus, with the repetition phrase “she’s a brave girl, just trying to save the world,” conveys a powerful rallying cry for courage and empowerment, the passion and the honest emotions Anoush sang it in, makes it a piece that strikes the soul of the listener and makes them ponder on their spirituality and purpose. As the song goes on, lines like “there is beauty in the dark out of me, but if you dance with the devil, don’t forget to leave” hints at the complexities of existence, acknowledging both the darkness and beauty within.
Well “Brave Girl” is indeed the song it was designed to be, and it ain’t just your regular kinda song. It’s a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating track that goes beyond mere musical boundaries and taking the whole indie music industry to another level. It’s captivating, intriguing and entertaining, the beats, deep lyrics, and ability to infuse genres together and still have a definite sound is amazing. So why don’t you go ahead and give the song a listen and have a wonderful week. ENJOY!! Make sure to check her out on the links below for more;
